Real video streaming over WIFI?

Finally I managed to make Real player working, following the instructions on this link www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=223297&st=0
Everything works just fine when I stream video over 3G network but when I try the same same over WIFI it just tries for 30 seconds and ends up with the message "Response or data from server timed out" and that is it. WIFI is working normally everywhere else in any of the apps that require the Net.
Anybody has a clue?
Sorry if this has been discussed before, I searched the forum but nothing came out...
Using JJ with latest ROM...

OK, let me rephrase it… Can anybody use Real player to stream video or audio using WIFI connection?

I real player all around my house to stream audio over wifi so i can listen to music.
I cant get it to work on 3g as it gives a timeout error.

Thanks for the reply.
You have, exactly, the opposite situation.
I prefer to have it over WIFI rather then 3G since it takes a lot of bandwidth and I have contract of only 200 Mb per month.
Now I am even more confused than before…

SiriusXM and Z ports?????

i seem to be having some difficulty and was wondering if anyone else is as well...I can't seem to connect to the server to stream SiriusXM on my Inc...only happens on the newer Z-based roms...I can connect to the server, but i cannot stream the media via 3G, wifi works fine, and if I connect on wifi, then turn wifi off, it works on 3G, but if I lose the connection on 3G, it won't re-connect...
it works great on the HD port from IncDoes...but the newer ports are all coming from the Z port, and that is where the problem seems to stem from.
anyone else having this issue? (i haven't tried streaming anything else since I don't use any other apps to stream...i will try that out on the newest builds)

are you running the Sirius XM 1.1 app? there was an issue that was addressed for 3G streaming.
Only issues i've ever ran into was repeating of the same content when it lost connection and connection was re-established it would still repeat up to the point where it lost connection from the point the channel was cached.
it could also be a server issue, ever since they launched the app they've had nothing but problems with there server cutting in and out, losing connection, quality took a nosedive etc. I think its the limitations they set in the app itself, i seriously (pun intended) wish someone in the android community would develop a better app.
I listen to my app from my phone while i'm at work and seeing how i just let it stream for a few hours, it eventually asks "continue streaming?" while yes i agree its a nice feature for THEM to keep server load down but what about us legitimate users that use it while working and don't want to keep messing with the phone / app to just listen.

[Q] No Streaming over my WIFI

Hi,
I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from this forum, and I thank you.
Phone:Samsung Jack i637
App unlocked, network unlocked, No Data installed, Total Commander installed
I am having a problem that has started recently. I have app unlocked my phone and have NO DATA installed. I use my phone to access the internet only over wifi connections.
I have the YOU Tube app installed on my phone, and have been able to stream over the wifi without issue until recently. It always says connection error. No matter what videos I try to access I get that message. I even get them message trying to access the at and t mobi TV app.
I can still browse the internet via opera, but IE does not work via the wifi, but if I enable mediaNet, I can do anything I want at a ridiculous price!
How do I fix this. I have concluded that somehow At & T has made it so I can only stream video over their media net service. Or is there a setting I need to change?

[Q] Streaming is lost while switching between WiFi and HSPA

Hi,
I'm just wondering if someone figured out a way or an app to prevent streaming from being restarted or lost when switching between WiFi and HSPA. It is annoying because I tend to listen to online radio and while walking on campus the phone decided to switch between networks depending on availability of WiFi.
The only safe solution I found is to turn off WiFi radio and keep on HSPA but I was wondering why can't we get constant internet and let the technology switch between WiFi and HSPA in the background without affecting connectivity?

Im pretty sure every phone will do this. It has to drop the connection, connect to the new one, handshake with IP designation... and start streaming again all before the buffer empties..... not gonna happen unless you can figure out how to set like a 20 or 30 second buffer in whatever app you are using.

I'm using TuneIn radio app to listen to a radio channel so pre-buffer is not available. Also when I call with Viber / Skype there is no pre-buffer and my call ends up being dropped. It's an annoying technical problem. I'm not sure if it only in Android or iOS and Windows Phone have it too.

Can't watch netflix on android over wifi

I wasn't sure where to put this, but the issue started with the nexus player, so I figured I'd try here.
My girlfriend and I were watching a TV series on netflix, on my nexus player, when it started having a connection problem. I've had my nexus for about 6 months and have never had an issue with it before.
I can get onto netflix on the nexus player, and browse the titles, but as soon as I try to play something, it tells me my device may not be connected to the internet. If I do the network test, it shows a good test for all 3 netflix servers, and the internet connection. I can watch netflix on my laptop just fine over wifi, but of course, if I try to stream the tab.... it opens the netflix app which says it can't connect. (I tried uninstalling the netflix app and streaming the tab, but it just tells me I need to install the netflix app)
Finally I tried installing netflix on my galaxy S5, and it also wouldn't stream anything, until I turned off wifi.... then it worked fine. I have tried everything I can think of and have read to try to fix this. I've changed my router to send default ISP DNS servers to devices, I've tried setting google DNS servers, I've checked time zone settings, I've cleared netflix app data, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've done a factory reset.... nothing will work.
If it's an issue with router settings, I don't understand why it works fine on my laptop. I had made no changes to my network or any of my devices' configuration when it stopped working.
Does anyone have any idea why this would only affect android devices, and only over my wifi? I have no idea what else to try.

You cleared app data, what about the app cache? Also do you happen to be using a vpn service like unblock-us, I had a similar issue one time when my region had been changed from usa to uk on the website and then it was telling me I couldn't connect. Good luck.

Yeah when you clear data, it also clears the cache. I also uninstalled and reinstalled, and even did factory reset. I'd never had it on my phone until today and no go there... .and like I said, only on WiFi. Yet it works fine on my laptop over WiFi. On my Galaxy S5 it works on cellular fine. This is the weirdest issue I've ever run into.
I've worked as a computer/network tech since 2005, and while I may not be the most knowledgeable guy around, I can usually figure out any network related issue... but I don't know what the difference would be between the android apps and the browser app. I figure if it's not the app it would have to be something with my router/firewall... but I have no idea what.

UPDATE
It's definitely something to do with my router config. I have the same router/access point set up at home as we have at work, and we also have the same internet plan aside from this being a business account. But it's the same ISP, and same Up/Down speed. I just tried it at work over wifi on my phone and it works fine.

It could also be your ISP. Business account traffic is treated differently than residential account.

Ok I got it fixed. I still have no idea what the hell the problem was. I couldn't find any firewall rules that could have caused the issue. Nothing had changed in my set up and it just suddenly stopped working in the middle of watching one day. I considered the ISP being an issue, but my girlfriend also has COX internet, and she had no issues at her house on her blue ray player or phone on her wifi, and like I said before... it still worked on my laptop at home.
I think some kind of bug just popped up in pfsense. I did a factory reset on it and now everything's working fine. Still the weirdest issue I've ever encountered. It still worked fine on my laptop, but not on any android (on wifi), or maybe mobile and not android was the factor? I don't own apple products so I couldn't test that.
